A(nother) 'senior' humiliation:

While loading and stowing personal gear aboard Wrack again, I had to cross from the deck of our marina neighbour's Catalina 34 sailboat to Wrack, over a gap of maybe a metre, in dead calm conditions.

I ended up in the sea.

I blacked out for a second. Then, disoriented, I reached for rigging that wasn't there and fell between the hulls, my ribs and wrist hitting Wrack's gunwhale.

The water was bloody cold. I managed to swim, fully clothed, to a barnacle-encrusted ladder from which I was pulled onto the dock.

I tried to stand up, with the help of three 'marineros' (marina workers), but couldn't so I lay on the dock for 15 minutes to regain my stability — and, it has to be said, my sodden dignity.

Below, the lurid souvenirs:

in reply to wrack

woah! that's my nightmare, we know lots of folks who've lost someone they knew like that, falling between the boat and the dock and getting stuck under or freezing to death in the dark unable to find the ladder.

Glad you're alright, other than a few bruises.

I should rewrite my little stack api with all the new features. I think half the code was just draining tokens.

Also, question, do jump labels map to a prime? If so there is interesting room from something like derefing a symbols count into the bag. Something like x^25 x^27 &x producing [3^2 5^3]. If 3 is associated with an address you suddenly have an indirect jump.

Well, more a fun idea extension given how slow exploding a number would be. Combining numbers is destory information is very cheep, but undoing that is very expesnive.

hm, this kinda gets into nested bags tho...

if rejoice had macros:

%push [ b^a a^n c^b]/[a^a b^b c^c n^n]
%swap [a^b b^a]/[a^a b^b]
%rot [a^c b^a c^b]/[a^a b^b c^c]
%pop [a^b b^c]/[a^a b^b c^c]
%dup [a^a b^a c^b]/[a^a b^b c^c]

n^56 push n^34 push n^12 push swap rot pop dup

Hi @nextcloud is there an easy way to get the internal private share link (one of the form `https://example.com/index.php/f/NNNNNN`) directly from the path of file (something like `/my/path/to/file`)?

For any file I am trying to produce a text with the path and the link, so that one can clic on the link or browse directly to a path (when synchronised to a local filesystem for instance).

another good option for all usage-related questions is our forum. We have a very active community, and our engineers are present there too.

Mastodon, I need your help! As more European countries and orgs look to ditch US technology and move to sovereign or open source alternatives, I'm trying to track these efforts.

So far, I've found more than half a dozen government agencies, cities, orgs, that are embracing digital sovereignty but want to hear about other examples that I've missed. Who else should I be adding to this?

Here's a list of what I have so far:

UK told its Big Tech habit is now a national security risk

The warning comes from Open Rights Group, whose latest report, "Tech Giants and Giant Slayers," argues that the UK has let a small group of American megacorps entrench themselves across critical infrastructure, shaping not just systems but policy itself. The result is a mix of economic drag, security exposure, and a growing inability to act independently when it matters.

The risk shows up when politics is involved. The report points to US sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) for issuing arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, and claims Microsoft shut down email and banking-related services for affected individuals. The report says this shows how "tech powers of sanction" can cut off access entirely, and what that might look like if UK-US relations soured.

The Competition and Markets Authority says at least £500 million a year is being overspent on cloud services, and that's before you add in projects that overrun, suppliers that never quite leave, and systems everyone avoids touching.



Playnix launch their own Steam Machine-like Linux gaming console gamingonlinux.com/2026/04/play…

#Playnix #Linux #PCGaming #SteamMachine

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I'd go for the Steam Machine personally (I just love Valve) but I like the fact that Steam Machines are designed to allow competition, just as the Steam Deck was. Valve understands basic economics and the fact that healthy competition drives down prices and improves the experience for consumers.

I finished the Oberbank Linz Marathon last weekend, crushing my time goal and my personal best.

It all went according to the plan despite all the setbacks in this training block and my Achilles injury.

Amazing. Congratulations!!

I sometimes manage to run at a 4'41" pace for one km. Doing it for 42.2 is wild. Well done.

Now, remember to get some rest and celebrate.
